Houston Astros fan walks through the aisles seeking autographs while watching batting practice before Game 7 of the World Series between the Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2017, in Los Angeles.

The Astros recently received their formal invitation to visit the White House, as customary for reigning World Series champions, and plan to attend, according to team president of business operations Reid Ryan.

The exact date on which the team will be honored by President Donald Trump has yet to be determined. Because the Astros don't make their annual trip to Baltimore to play the Orioles until the final series of the regular season, the team is exploring the possibility of going to Washington D.C. during spring training, Ryan said.

"This is a tradition and an honor. For many people, this might be their only time to ever be invited to the White House," Ryan said Wednesday in an interview with the Chronicle. "And as the representatives of baseball and the World Series champs, when the White House calls and invites you to come up, it's something that as an organization we felt both a responsibility and an obligation to be part of."

Ryan said the Astros hope to make a formal announcement with more details about the team's visit before the end of the month. The team has off days built into its Grapefruit League schedule on March 12 and March 20.

The Astros will be the second World Series champions to visit the White House since Trump took office. The 2016 champion-Chicago Cubs made two visits last year, first toward the end of Barack Obama's presidency and then again after Trump had taken office.
